Twenty years ago Atlanta was her stage en route to Hollywood. Look at that fresh-faced future #EGOT shine!

In 1971, 17-year-old Juliane Koepcke was flying over the Peruvian rainforest with her mother when she got sucked out of the airplane after it was struck by a bolt of lightning. She fell two miles to the ground, strapped to her seat. "The plane jumped down and went into a nose-dive. It was pitch black, and people were screaming. Then the deep roaring of the engines filled my head completely. Suddenly, the noise stopped, and I was outside the plane. I was in a freefall, strapped to my seat bench and hanging head-over-heels. The whispering of the wind was the only noise I could hear. I could see the canopy of the jungle spinning towards me. Then I lost consciousness and remember nothing of the impact. Later I learned that the plane had broken into pieces about two miles above the ground. I woke the next day and looked up into the canopy. The first thought I had was: 'I survived an air crash.'" Koepcke's first instincts were to try and find her mother, but she was nowhere to be found. After eating some sweets found at the crash site, Koepcke waded downstream and followed the river. After 10 days, she found a moored boat. She poured the gasoline from the boat's fuel tank onto her wounds, which were infested with maggots. She then spent the night in a makeshift shelter. "I remained there, but I wanted to leave. I didn't want to take the boat because I didn't want to steal it." The next day, she was discovered by loggers and was soon reunited with her father. She later discovered that her mother had initially survived the crash, only to die of her injuries several days later. Like her parents, Koepcke went on to study biology at the University of Kiel in Germany, graduating in 1980. She received her doctorate from Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and returned to Peru to conduct research in mammalogy, specializing in bats.

RIP, Prof. Ogletree.

Do not vote for politicians who are hostile to or dismissive of the climate crisis— like most Republicans. This also means, of course, to vote for those who address it in policy. Our lives depend on it.

@xavierbonilla87 @BasicBooks @icylett I’d love to! Let’s make it happen.

@ProfOgbar @BasicBooks @icylett Absolutely! Would love to have you come on and talk about it! 💪🏽

@FINALLEVEL Bro, I’ve been rocking with you since I rode the Rough Tough and Dangerous down Crenshaw, Slauson, Venice and LaBrea in the ‘80s. You continue to drop gems and inspire.

ICE COLD FACT.. I think about this every day…. Lol

Can’t wait @ProfOgbar !

@NinaVzqz23 Thank you! This is such a meaningful post. I’m pleased the class resonated.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I always think of a class that changed my life and it had to be @ProfOgbar “Hip Hop History” course where he taught me that Puerto Ricans have a place in larger discourse and that music has saved lives, held pain, held joy and continues to do so.
